General Information
Philosophy, the love of wisdom and learning, is basic to any balanced education.

To study philosophy means to ask deep and important questions, to listen carefully to another’s perspective, to examine facts and reasons critically, and to seek truth
without compromise.

Philosophy helps you develop intellectual discipline and imagination, a sense of personal worth, an open mind and a compassionate heart, as well as skills in analytical thinking and communication.

Philosophy leads you to make competent judgments, form sound opinions and develop a coherent view of the world and your place in it.

Philosophy can also serve as a useful framework for interdisciplinary studies.
